TUSCALOOSA, Ala. (AP) — The University of Alabama unveiled a portrait of the school's first Heisman Trophy winner, Mark Ingram.
Ingram and football coach Nick Saban participated in the ceremony Friday night at the Paul W. Bryant Museum on campus in Tuscaloosa. The portrait was painted by sports artist Steve Skipper of Birmingham. It's titled "Take It By Force."
The portrait will hang in the museum beside Ingram's Heisman Trophy. The former Alabama running back from Michigan was drafted by the NFL's New Orleans Saints in April.
The unveiling was sponsored with the Mark Ingram Foundation, which works with children whose parents are in prison.
